SATURDAY, JUNE 26
Sat out FP (Front Porch) for coffee and breakfast. Went on the internet for a short while and wrote questions for today's discussion group on Veterans Organizations of the Civil War and did some research. This is for the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group.
Listened to Bill St. James and his Time Warp show on WDRV and then WXRT's Saturday Morning Flashback at home and in the car. Today it was to 1975, a great year for music.
Drove to Panera Bread in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for the meeting which was held inside for the first time since February 2020. The two major veterans groups after the war were the Union's Grand Army of the Republic and the South's United Confederate Veterans.
Afterwards, I went to my favorite store these days, Half Price Books in Algonquin, and bought eight CDs. The I picked up tp Sliders at White Castle.
That evening, Liz and I went to Sticky's in Johnsburg and enjoyed their $1 draft pints.

SUNDAY, JUNE 27
I did what I do most every Sunday during the summer, some of it even last year. I sit FP (Front Porch) for coffee, breakfast and reading. Then go on the internet and work on blogs. Then listen to different radio shows: Acoustic Storm on the Drive, WXRT's Breakfast With the Beatles and WDRV's Rock and Roll Roots.
In the afternoon, we went over to the American Legion in McHenry, Illinois, for their annual Pig Roast. It was auce and all the beer you can drink for $10. I tell you, I can live with this price. Plus, we had a great country rock/blues band called Dixie Rising.
